Perform in "inverted Rockford".
Crank the wheel and jam it in reverse!
Ok Tony-Wan Kenobi, what's the answer?

I knew one of you tranny guys would know. this is a last resort after down shifting and what ever you can do scrub off speed hasn't worked. you use reverse to lock up the rear wheels. you put it in reverse and pull it out and repeat untill the car stops. sometimes you don't have a lot of time so you have to think quiclky. this will stop the car and I would rather do this than go off the end of the track.

So this will work with a transbrake car where reverse is neutral via the transbrake button ?

Dump laundry, click off motor, downshift to first, and hit transbreak.That's what I would do
you never turn the motor off, you would be done. only way I would click it off is if the throttle stuck.

I think you would have to mash the button.

well, yes ! Thanks good info ! Hope I never have to try it ! 
I did try it once by accident, thats how I knew the answer. many many years ago I was driving and very low on gas. coming over a bridge I decided to put it in neautral to save some gas. oops it went into reverse at 60 mph locked up the rear wheels and scared the crap out of me  snatched in back down and went on my way.
